Its elongated blade combines a dark carbon-steel surface with flowing copper lines, while the faceted rosewood handle provides a warm and natural finishing touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade’s copper pattern moves from the heel toward the pointed tip in bold, irregular formations. These warm lines contrast with the dark carbon steel and give the knife a distinctive appearance. Natural variations in the forged blade pattern mean that each knife can display its own individual arrangement of copper details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStraight-Edged Kiritsuke Profile\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe elongated blade features a relatively straight cutting edge and a defined Kiritsuke-style point. This profile is particularly well suited to controlled push cutting, straight downward cuts, and smooth slicing movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can be used for preparing vegetables, dicing onions, mincing herbs, slicing meat, portioning boneless proteins, and handling other everyday culinary ingredients. The long edge supports clean drawing cuts, while the pointed tip assists with accurate detail work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts broad blade face provides useful clearance above the cutting board and can help move prepared ingredients into a bowl or pan. Use the spine rather than the sharpened edge when transferring ingredients to help preserve the cutting edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFaceted Rosewood Handle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handle is crafted from rosewood with visible natural grain and warm reddish-brown tones. Its long, faceted construction provides clear grip reference points that can help the user maintain blade alignment during food preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA dark wood ferrule forms the transition between the blade and rosewood handle. A contrasting decorative spacer adds a refined detail between the two wood sections. Since rosewood is a natural material, variations in grain, shade, and markings should be expected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e13.5-inch overall length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-forged carbon-steel blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistinctive flowing copper-line pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-edged Kiritsuke-style profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDefined pointed tip for controlled preparation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFaceted natural rosewood handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark wood ferrule with decorative spacer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for slicing, push cutting, chopping, and mincing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKiritsuke-Style Chef Knife\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13.5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCarbon Steel with Copper Lines\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBlade Construction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand Forged\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBlade Profile\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStraight-Edged Kiritsuke Style\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBlade Tip\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePointed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRosewood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHandle Profile\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFaceted\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFerrule\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDark Wood with Decorative Spacer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePrimary Uses\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSlicing, Push Cutting, Chopping, and Mincing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSHAM KNIVES\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarbon steel requires careful maintenance.
